In a world where some nations have experienced the Holocaust, and others — the Holodomor, there is a unique experience of fighting against total threats of annihilation. These nations, who survived the two greatest genocides of the 20th century, are once again at the center of world attention, showing the example of what real resistance to evil looks like when it threatens their very existence. This experience is unique because it is not limited only to historical events, but is also relevant in the context of modern political struggles against terrorist regimes.

Israel and Ukraine — two nations that have experienced catastrophes that have forever changed their peoples, and now they are once again facing threats that in some way continue those very tragedies. It is important to emphasize that this is not just a fight for survival, but a fight for moral values, for the right to exist in conditions where terrorism and aggression are the main ideologies of their enemies.

Today, in an era where the world’s problems are often resolved through compromise, the example of Ukraine and Israel demonstrates that sometimes morality requires decisive actions. These countries show the world that it is impossible to turn a blind eye to modern evil and that we must actively fight it.

Confronting Modern Evil and the Philosophy of Action

Evil, unlike other concepts like war or violence, always has a moral content. The modern actions of HAMAS and Russia are not just wars, but deliberate destruction of human life. Essentially, these terrorist regimes use political violence as a method of suppression and annihilation, without recognizing human life, dignity, and human rights. This is called totalitarian terrorism, which has nothing in common with ordinary military conflicts where there is at least minimal respect for international law.

As Timothy Snyder writes, the West is still not ready to acknowledge the real scale of what is happening. It cannot call the actions of Russia and HAMAS genocide, because that would mean admitting its own inaction. Western society has not yet learned to fight this evil. It avoids acknowledging the obvious, and this leads to a complete disregard for the moral and philosophical foundations that require active action.

HAMAS and Russia — Bearers of the Culture of Death and Destruction

Russia and HAMAS are societies that deny the value of human life. They do not just use violence, but build their policy on the destruction of normal existence. They attack not only people but also their culture, identity, and rights. These countries and organizations form a culture in which human life has no value, and the only thing that matters is the ability to kill and destroy.

For such regimes, there are no human rights, freedoms, or dignity. Instead, for them, the goal is to destroy what they consider their enemy. This is vividly expressed in the actions of HAMAS against Israel and Russia’s military actions in Ukraine. Terrorism and violence become part of the ideology, not just the actions of a group of people, but a means to achieve political goals.

The West and Its Fear of Action

The West is still not ready to acknowledge what is happening in Ukraine, and does not want to call it genocide, because then it would have to act. The West, in essence, remains in moral paralysis. This was evident when the USA and other world powers were hesitant to impose harsh sanctions on Russia amidst the aggression in Ukraine. They waited, hoping for diplomatic solutions, while Israel and Ukraine knew that morality demands strength.

Ukraine and Israel act not only within their security frameworks, but also on the moral front, giving an example to the world. Their struggle is not just for defense from the enemy, but a signal to the whole world that we cannot stand aside when violence is perpetrated against innocent people. It is important to emphasize that these nations did not take the path of struggle for revenge, but to preserve human values that they cannot afford to allow to be destroyed.

The Futility of Negotiating with Terrorists

For Israel and Ukraine, negotiations with terrorists such as HAMAS or Russia are impossible. These countries know that with such regimes, it is impossible to speak on equal terms because they do not recognize human dignity or the right to life. Such negotiations only delay the resistance process and give terrorists time to regroup for new attacks.

Diplomacy does not work in conditions where the other side consists of those who not only refuse to recognize human rights, but also destroy them, using terror as their main tool.

Confronting Evil: Historical Examples

Israel and Ukraine continue to show the world how important it is to act decisively, without fear or doubt. These countries are not just fighting for their existence, they are showing that in the modern world, morality demands direct confrontation with evil. These nations know that to protect their freedom and life, they must act decisively.

The general lesson that today Israel and Ukraine give is that terrorism and violence cannot be part of the political process. These nations do not agree that terrorism can be legitimized through diplomatic mechanisms or peaceful negotiations. The world must realize that without decisive actions, terrorism will continue to thrive.
